College enrollment and trust are low, caught in a death spiral of liberal ideology

Trust in higher education has plummeted to 36% in 2023, down from 57% in 2015, particularly among Republicans and Independents due to increasing viewpoint intolerance.

Enrollments fell from about 18.1 million students in 2010 to 15.4 million in 2021, driven by economic issues and the perception of academia as a far-left echo chamber.

Surveys reveal that many university departments have purged conservatives, with only 9% of law professors identifying as conservative, creating an environment of intolerance.

The academic focus has shifted from traditional subjects to degrees in activism, labeling core disciplines as white privilege and promoting self-censorship among students.
